Revenge is a Deadly Blade in Blue Eye Samurai’s latest Trailer. Netflix finally gave an exclusive peek at Blue Eye Samurai. The forthcoming series is an original creation from Amber Noizumi & Logan writer Michael Green, and it received a new preview ahead of its November release.
Mizu, a half-Japanese and half-white samurai, seeks vengeance on the white men who murdered her mother, one of whom may be her father. Mizu struggles with several inner conflicts, including her background and gender.
Blue Eye Samurai | Official Trailer
In a new trailer, the ‘Blue Eye Samurai’ sculpts a bloody path of vengeance. The Trailer, paired to a song of Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” tries everything it can to make the eponymous Blue Eye Samurai look more than human.
Mizu (Maya Erskine) is a demon capable of cutting through warriors like paper in the midst of those she is chasing. Even she admits she’s turned into a monster. She reminisces on her traumatic history, recalling the men who took her mother away from her, especially the cruel Abijah Fowler.
Her icy blue eyes have been obsessed with murder ever since, and she’s polished her skills with a sword to take out any opponent.
All of this culminates in the disturbing sight of the samurai sliding forward nearly inhumanly, blood-soaked clothes, flames on her back, and a gaze that promises death for anybody on the wrong end of her sword.
Blue Eye Samurai is set in an intensely sexist era and society, where it is believed that it is a woman’s role to be sensible and that revenge is not a thing for her.
Mizu fights against that mentality, fighting men who feel superior to her against stunning sunsets and pounding waves, defeating them in large teams, or catching them by surprise with a fatal slash to the throat. However, it seems that she is more than simply a cold-blooded killer.
The series will most likely explore who she is at her core and how those she meets influence her as she hits patriarchy and discrimination. Of course, each vicious action sequence combines 2D and 3D techniques for dynamic animation, while the art resembles a painting with obvious brush strokes.
